Task-relevant social cues affect whole-body approach-avoidance behavior

Data analysis

Of 10,240 (32 × 320) movements, 855(8.35%) had to be discarded from the analysis for the following reasons: 214 movements were deemed too fast (RT < 250 ms); 89 movements were too slow (RT > 1500 ms); the 552 remaining movements were made in the wrong direction. To allow for flexible trial-based modeling, we analyzed the data using a Bayesian linear mixed model. This approach allows us to estimate parameter values of effect sizes and quantify the uncertainty regarding these estimates based on the information in our data and the priors applied. We used brms⁴², a…
